Re: uw-imapd not allowing opening of folders from external network

[Mark Crispin]

There is no distinction between "internal network" and "external network" 
in UW imapd as distributed by UW.  Debian may have made some modifications 
that created such a thing; so one of the first things that you should try 
is getting the unmodified UW imapd from:
	ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap.tar.Z
and (build with "make ldb") see if that version works any better.

If it is the same, then I would suggest checking any firewall that you may 
have to see if it may be filtering IMAP.  Firewall filters do all sorts of 
wierd things and can lead you into a long wild goose chase blaming 
everything but the actual cause of the problem.

Good luck!
